No fewer than nine suspects who attacked the convoy of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in Borno State have been charged to court.
The Borno State Commissioner of Police, Abdul Umar, made this assertion while speaking with journalists on Thursday, adding that a total of 14 electoral violence offenders were arrested by the command.
Umar explained that out of the 14 suspects arrested, 12 are supporters of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) while the remaining two are for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“Even though there was allegation that somebody died, till today we have not seen the corpse,” he said.
He said enough measures had been taken by the police to curtail thuggery in the state.
The Commissioner commended the state governor, Babagana Zulum, for giving express order that anybody caught disrupting campaigns, no matter how highly placed, should be taken to court.
"The command arrested 119 suspects that perpetrated various offences, including rape and drug abuse," the CP added.
